With 6/6 interval you could run pretty much anything other than the cheapest no name conventional, I'd just run Pennzoil platinum if I were you, I picked up a couple 5 quart jugs at walmart for $19.00(new regular price) yesterday.

Another option for oil would be Q Diesel Plus 5w30, it's what mopar has started shipping us for the mercedes diesel in the jeep/sprinter. It meets the VW requirements.

Nothing really happens if you mix 5 and 10w30

Honda Type 2 Coolant is fairly inexpensive, just go to the dealer and get it, it comes premixed, and it only need to be changed at 120k then every 60k afterwards. Yes, it's compatible with green, but the recommended service interval drops to 30k.

Either 5w30 or 10w30 will be fine, don't worry about it, did you get the filter changed yet? As far as oil, I choose whichever one is on sale when I walk into advance auto, MI, PP, Synpower, doesn't really matter to me.

You should be able to go 10k on M1 or PP in a pilot.

Having seen the inside of these engines using the maintenance minder systems I wouldn't hesitate at all to use it as long as you're not using the cheapest oil possible. The honda dealer I worked at used Valvoline, same as most dealers here. Also, the system doesn't usually go to 10k from what...

Not idling the UPS truck is part of a fuel saving strategy, they also plan out the routes turn by turn to reduce fuel consumption. It might not seem like much, but with a nation wide fleet it's a ton of money saved. Fedex and UPS are right down the street from here, I don't have the details...

Why? The oil is usually still in good condition when it's indicating to change the oil at 10k. And they're not having engine trouble, so what's the problem? They've not yet got the hang of transmissions, but that's another discussion. And yes, give her advice, go with her, or even take the car...

I wouldn't worry too much about the warranty concern, Chysler isn't real big on voiding warranties due to maintenance like some manufacturers, last week I had had the heads off of a caravan that I'd swear hadn't ever had an oil change, was full of sludge, pulled the timing cover, and oil pan...

I don't know about ultra, but today at Advance Auto I saw new Pennzoil Platinum Ultimate Protection next to the regular PP
